On the basis of these theses and the reports of delegates from various countries, the Congress of the Communist International declares that the principal task of the communist parties in all countries where Soviet power does not yet exist consists in the following:

1) Elucidation to the broad masses of the working class of the historical significance, the political and historical necessity of the new, proletarian democracy, which must be put in place of bourgeois democracy and parliamentarism.

2) The spreading and organization of Soviets among workers in all branches of industry and among soldiers of the army and navy, as well as among agricultural laborers and poor peasants.

3) The establishment within the Soviets of a firm communist majority.
